Join us for an evening of live music, refreshments, and conversation among friends and supporters in the galleries of the Madison County History Museum. The event is a fundraiser to help cover operating costs for the Museum and Archival Library. The suggested donation of $25 can be paid by check, cash, or credit card. The public is invited to attend.
The sound of live jazz will float through the museum as Wilbert Glasper and Company provide music for the evening. Glasper, of Venice, Illinois, is known for his saxophone throughout the St. Louis area. He believes in the power of music to bring people together, and when he’s playing, everyone is swaying to the sound of the soft jazz that is his hallmark.
The Madison County History Museum is located at 715 N. Main Street in Edwardsville. Before being purchased by the Society in 1963, it was home to the Weir family who built the house in 1836. Because of the Weir family’s long connection to the building, the museum is often referred to as the “Weir House.”
